given which are missing in your question:
the flask is filled with 1.45 g of argon at 25 C°
So according to this formula (Partial pressure):
PV= nRT
first, we need n, and we can get by substitution by:
n = 1.45/mass weight of argon
= 1.45 / 39.948 = 0.0363 mol of Ar
we have R constant = 0.0821
and T in kelvin = 25 + 273 = 298
and V = 1 L
∴ P * 1 = 0.0363* 0.0821 * 298 = 0.888 atm
